THE administration of Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been marked by him being booed by crowds of protesters in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
One could argue that Johnson has united the country in protest more quickly than any recent premier and this may be his most significant and perhaps his only achievement as Prime Minister.
No doubt some on the right will label the protesting crowds a “mob” and argue that as a new PM Johnson has a democratic mandate.
